Sweep Setup
Before you attempt a sweep in the field, configure and check the settings
described in this section.
1. Call up the CONFIGURE menu (use either the Navigator or the
Configure (Function and 3 ghi) key on the keypad) and select
SWEEP from the list.
2. At the SWEEP menu, use the arrow keys to select Stealth mode if it is
not already selected. (Stealth will appear in the Edit Box when it’s
selected.)
3. Forward Telemetry Frequency: Use the up and down diamond keys or
the numeric keypad to enter the forward telemetry frequency
corresponding to that of the headend unit.
4. If you’re using reverse sweep (SDA-5000 OPT1), you need to
configure the following additional settings:
